In Fortnite: Battle Royale there is now Fortbyte #51. To do this, you need the emote “Waddle”, with which you should cross the street in front of Shali’s banana stand.
Where is Fortbyte 51? For this Fortbyte, you should travel to the Neo Tilted area. There, the popular banana Shali has a stand.

What are Fortbytes anyway? Fortbytes are a type of collectible puzzle pieces that have been available since the start of Season 9 in Fortnite. Together, they form a large puzzle, with a new piece being unlocked every day. This also activates a bonus skin.
The Swedish YouTuber Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, participated in the tournament Friday Fortnite on Friday, despite apparently having little knowledge of Fortnite. He played three rounds together with Twitch star Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, which will probably go down in history.
Keemstar always invites the “biggest names” he can get for Friday Fortnite to reach as many viewers as possible. The streamers and YouTubers broadcast the showcase battle on their own channels.

The tournament tree, the Friday Fortnite Bracket (via umg), is designed so that sometimes two top teams meet in the 1st round, while teams with “content stars” are matched against weaker teams, so their fans have something to watch for a long time.

The biggest content creators for Fortnite in a tournament. Viewer records are being shattered.
This “special” duo consisted of PewDiePie and Ninja. Ninja is considered a crack in Fortnite – PewDiePie is not. But both are the biggest individuals on their platforms: PewDiePie on YouTube, Ninja on Twitch.
Just before the start of the tournament, DrDisRespect somehow snuck into the lineup and took the place of another player. For stars like the Doctor, it seems Keemstar likes to make exceptions.
The rules turn out to be flexible.

It all started with Ceeday kicking Ninja at the start. He was visibly upset.
This is how the tournament went for PewDiePie: The first match was aimed at “absolute viewer records” and likely achieved them.
On one side, PewDiePie and Ninja played – on the other stood NoahsNoah and Ceeday, who is also hugely successful on YouTube.
PewDiePie and Ninja managed to win this duel in two matches. The 4 players are then in a squad, so they cannot harm each other, but each hunts for their own kills.
In the next round against DrDisrespect and Arkhram, Ninja and PewDiePie also won, who often teased each other during the stream. The nickname “Ninya” generated by PewDiePie will likely stick.
Although Ninja and PewDiePie managed to prevail in the first two rounds, it was then over in round 3 against TSM Myth and Liquid Poach, two top Fortnite players. PewDiePie and Ninja lost and had to continue in the “Loser Bracket”.
Shortly after midnight, PewDiePie leaves the tournament
However, PewDiePie then left the tournament because it was apparently too late for him as a European.
Ninja continued with his friend TimTheTatman as a substitute. This was announced at 0:22. However, Ninja and TimTheTatman were ultimately eliminated by the duo of Ghost Kamo and ISSA.
The tournament ran well into the night from our perspective. At 4:42 AM, Keemstar announced the winners on Twitter. Ultimately, two players from FaZe, FaZe Tilt and FaZe Jarvis, won the tournament.
As winners of the tournament, they receive a prize of $10,000 – another $10,000 was awarded to a randomly selected viewer.
The YouTuber Pewdiepie. He was the highlight of the event this time.
When was Twitch Down? During the peak of the evening around 11 PM, both Ninja and KeemStar were sure that they were responsible for a Twitch outage.

In fact, outages at Twitch were reported around 10:55 PM on Friday evening our time. This could also have been contributed to by the gathering of PewDiePie, Ninja, and Ceeday, even though PewDiePie does not stream on Twitch himself.
But KeemStar and Ninja at least attribute the outage to themselves. Ninja reached 284,320 viewers at the peak, and throughout the evening, he had 1,953,799 unique viewers. Ninja’s stream lasted 10:55 hours (via twitter).

This was special: Many liked the chemistry between Ninja and PewDiePie. Ninja apparently felt a spiritual connection with PewDiePie. Ninja said that he often streams for 8 hours, then says one single wrong thing, and that will be dwelled upon forever.
However, PewDiePie cheerfully replied: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
After all, PewDiePie is known for repeatedly clashing with controversial actions and statements.
What’s next? Another Friday Fortnite is expected to take place next week. What will happen after that with the showcase battle is still unclear.
This current tournament only came together under bizarre circumstances. According to Keemstar, Epic should hire him anyway and provide a prize pool of $1 million, because he has proven what fantastic tournaments he can organize. Currently, Keemstar is only allowed to offer a prize pool of $20,000.
Next weekend, a similar spectacle is on the agenda with the “Pro-Am” tournament, but this time officially organized by Epic. It’s about $3 million in prize money for a good cause:
The MMORPG Black Desert is getting a new class. This was announced at an event in South Korea. The class “Shai” is designed to be cute, will be a supporter, and uses a boomerang. It is said to significantly differ from the previous classes.
Where was the class introduced? The Shai is the next new playable race and class in Black Desert. It was introduced at the “Heidel Festa” by Pearl Abyss. However, everything is in Korean. We at MeinMMO refer to two English-speaking sources reporting on the event.
Class is expected very soon
What makes it special: Normally, we players in Europe have to wait a long time for new classes. But not for the “Shai”:
In South Korea, players will be able to create a Shai starting June 12 – but they cannot play it yet. It should be playable from June 19.
In North America, Europe, Japan, and Russia, players will be allowed to create it from June 19 – significantly earlier than usual. Perhaps it will be available to us as early as June 26.
Shai is a support class with the boomerang “Florang” and a small sphere “Viclari.” The boomerang is said to be about as big as she is. With the boomerang, the Shai can attack or dodge in Black Desert.
She supports her group with buffs, healing, and shields – additionally, she is mobile and can slide in and out of fights.
What is special about the Shai? Three peculiarities have already been noted that are not directly related to her style of play:
It is said that when she is created, she already has a master level in alchemy and gathering.
She will also have unique crafting recipes for “the campfire”, a new social object in Black Desert.
Shai will also get three types of donkeys with special skills that only Shai can use. For example, there is a “Wander Mode” that allows her to explore the world of Black Desert in a calmer, more relaxed manner.
Boomerang Lady tends to tantrums
These are Shai’s skills in Black Desert:
One, Two, Three – Shai can throw her boomerang up to three times, and with each throw, she calls out a number. Those hit by the boomerang will be knocked back.
Tantrum – here Shai gets angry and throws her boomerang, which can be thrown further.
Found You – Shai runs joyfully and brings light to the surroundings. With this, she can reveal hidden things – monsters rush towards her.
Come Here and Hide – Shai creates a zone around herself. Everyone in this zone will be protected from attacks for a few seconds. However, Shai must ensure that no enemies are in the zone when she casts Come Here and Hide.
Play Dead – Shai pretends to be dead to trick friends and other adventurers. However, this will not work against monsters, it is said.
What is special? The interesting thing here is that the Shai is apparently not a pure combat class but is moving towards “crafting”/”social”. Pearl Abyss has announced that more classes should also differ significantly from the previous ones.
Next, they are likely planning Dwarves and Rhutums as new classes/races for Black Desert. A new class is expected every year.
Many contents from WoW Classic currently come from streamers. This does not sit well with some fans of the MMORPG at all. When a Twitch streamer like Sodapoppin makes controversial statements, it can lead to fierce disputes.
Which streamer is being talked about? The discussion is about the streamer sodapoppin. Sodapoppin is one of the largest WoW streamers in the world and even attracted more concurrent viewers last week than the WoW legend Asmongold (via sullygnome, as of June 8 at 10:40 AM).
Sodapoppin ranks 15th among the Twitch streamers with the most followers in the world, giving him considerable influence. As a result, his statements can make significant waves when he makes them in front of tens of thousands of viewers.
This annoys the WoW Classic Community
What did Sodapoppin say? It specifically concerns a statement about streamer privileges and sodapoppin’s view of social justice in WoW Classic. In one of his streams, he talks about wanting to play WoW like an “anonymous player.”
He wishes that players would not distinguish between streamers and non-streamers but just play. He does not want any advantages or disadvantages just because he shows his game on Twitch.
He apparently feels that players are specifically waiting to ambush and hunt him. He wants to put a stop to that.
Sodapoppin is therefore taking a step further and explained his idea of a kind of “Social DKP.”

This is the idea: He intends to punish stream-snipers, meaning players who specifically hunt streamers. Since every player knows where the streamer is due to streaming, they can be tracked more easily and eliminated in PvP.
Sodapoppin now intends to keep a blacklist. Anyone who specifically hunts streamers will have their name recorded by the biggest guilds of their faction. They will be excluded from all important activities in the game: raids, dungeons, and world events.
As a result, the sniper will find it impossible to acquire the best gear, while streamers like sodapoppin can equip themselves to defend against the snipers.

How Classic fans are reacting: This statement has met with extreme incomprehension among many fans and has caused anger. The community is angry that streamers take it upon themselves to determine how others play and have fun in Classic.
Over the days, this has escalated to the point that in a now widely read and highly rated thread on reddit, a counter-idea has emerged:
Down with Soda and down with anyone who believes they should dictate who can have fun in the game. […]
I propose a super-guild, “The Blacklist,” with the explicit purpose of mastering game content as efficiently as possible. The goal is to hunt down those who exploit their streamer privileges to dictate what others are allowed to do. Everyone is welcome, and those we put on the list shall be hunted mercilessly.
Players want to unite against the idea.
The dissatisfaction with streamers has been evident in the community for some time. Statements like those from sodapoppin seem to only cause more unrest. However, some other streamers continue to provide good entertainment for the Classic fans:
There is news regarding the next special research in Pokémon GO! A data miner has found various details suggesting a soon release of Jirachi.
What was found? The data miner Chrales found the texts that Professor Willow says during the special research in the latest update of Pokémon GO.
In it, Willow also directly mentions Jirachi. He lets you research, so he ultimately concludes that the Pokémon you are looking for can only be Jirachi.
Jirachi in Pokémon GO – When will it happen?
The following statements were found: Professor Willow first mentions the mysterious Pokémon in the following passage: “That’s it! The pure melody created by your musical Pokémon has awakened the Steel and Psychic Pokémon Jirachi!”
This is the last part of the special research in which Jirachi is mentioned. Source: Chrales
In the following passages, Willow repeatedly mentions Jirachi. So we have confirmation that Jirachi will be the mysterious Pokémon from the special research of the GO Fest.
How certain is this? Of course, it must be said that these are initially findings from data miners. Niantic itself has not confirmed anything yet.
Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Niantic will completely change the special research for the GO Fest and introduce another Pokémon.
What else was found? In addition to the text of the special research regarding Jirachi, the corresponding quests were also found. Much revolves around the habitats that have been set up there.
These tasks were found by the data miner for the GO Fest. Source: Chrales
Examples of tasks include: “Take a photo of Trasla in the Fairy Garden” or “Take a photo of Hippopotas in the sandy desert”
Will Jirachi also come to Germany? The findings now revolve around the GO Fest in Chicago, which starts later this month.
However, one can certainly suspect that players from the Dortmund GO Fest will have the chance for special research with Jirachi.
Many players also assume that Jirachi will be available to catch for all players worldwide after all three GO Fests, starting in mid-August. This was also the case last year with Celebi. It was only available in Chicago at first, and a few days later the whole world received its own special research.
What do you think? Will Jirachi also come to Germany?
In a livestream, Bungie introduced the next chapter of Destiny 2. In Shadowkeep, we return to the Moon and the Black Garden with Eris Morn. Who Eris Morn is and what the Moon and the Black Garden are about, we summarize here for you.
This is the new expansion: In the livestream on June 6, Bungie presented the new expansion to Destiny 2. Shadowkeep brings you to the Moon and the Black Garden. You will be accompanied by Eris Morn, who is plagued by haunting visions of terrible nightmares.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand anything right now. For Destiny 1 veterans and Destiny 2 newcomers, we are happy to refresh what Eris Morn, the Moon, and the Black Garden are all about.
Destiny 1 players may remember the nice lady with the glowing orb. Eris Morn came with the DLC The Dark Below to Destiny 1. In the English trailer for the upcoming expansion Shadowkeep, Eris actually refers to The Dark Below.
Eris was part of the first fireteam that confronted the Hive God Crota on the Moon in the Hellmouth. Unfortunately, she was also the only survivor. Eriana-3, Sai Mota, Omar Agah, Vell Tarlowe, and Toland, who annoys Destiny 2 players in the Ascendant challenges, had to succumb to the Hive one by one.
Crota, the Son of Oryx
Eris survived in the deep tunnels by using the Hive’s own tactics against them. Even though her Ghost lost its light and was subsequently destroyed, Eris managed to survive in the tunnels beneath the Fortress for years. In battle, she lost her eyes but replaced them with the eyes of one of her Hive enemies, complete with a third eye.
She learned so much from her enemies that she can even use some of their powers and magic.
Eris Morn and her three eyes
After years in the darkness, she was able to escape and returned to the Tower. There, she worked for Ikora as one of her hidden spies but also conspired with the Awoken Queen Mara Sov in the Reef.
According to the developers, Eris Morn is not a character like Zavala or Ikora. She possesses powerful abilities that others might see as evil. However, Eris only uses them to protect humanity.

In Destiny 2, many Guardians enjoyed staying on the Moon. That’s where the Hive were causing havoc.
These disgusting enemies completely infested our Earth satellite. However, it wasn’t enough for the Hive to take over the Moon. They also began to dig, causing parts of the Moon’s crust to break off and float in orbit.
While excavating, the Hive encountered the Hellmouth, where the Temple of Crota is located. In the raid Crota’s End, the Guardians had to confront the Son of Oryx, and also in the Destiny 2 expansion Shadowkeep, we seem to encounter the Hive God again. He appears to be one of the nightmares that our Guardians must overcome.
Crota in the ViDoc for Shadowkeep
As Bungie announced in the livestream, the area of the Moon in Shadowkeep will be twice as large as in Destiny 1.
On the Moon, we also met the Exo Stranger in Destiny 1, who alerted us to the immediate threat posed by the Vex and the Black Garden.
The Black Garden is a realm isolated from space and time, inhabited by the Vex. It houses the Black Heart, a unit that is closely connected to the Darkness. The Exo Stranger explained to us that we can heal the Traveler by destroying the Heart at the center of the Black Garden.
The Black Garden
The Guardians then traveled to the Reef to ask the Awoken for help in finding the Black Garden. Reluctantly, Uldren Sov, who himself was possessed by the Garden, as we now know from Destiny 2 lore, gave us the coordinates to the Garden. Prince Uldren is responsible for the death of Cayde-6 in the Forsaken expansion.
In the last mission of the base game of Destiny 1, the Guardians had to confront the Vex and defeat the three Vex ghosts that guarded the Heart. Afterwards, they were also celebrated at the Tower by the Speaker.

In Shadowkeep, players will be able to return to the Black Garden once again. This time, the Garden is said to be part of the new raid that will be added with the new expansion for Destiny 2.
For more information on Shadowkeep, we have this for you:
After Fallout 76 has been on the market for nearly 7 months, Bethesda has finally provided an answer to the question about the canvas bags. What initially caused a stir seems to be slowly clarifying.
This is the issue: In the Collector’s Edition of Fallout 76, the so-called “Power Armor Edition”, a nice canvas bag was supposed to be included. However, this did not arrive for the buyers of the edition.
Instead, Bethesda sent out bags made of much cheaper nylon. After the already difficult launch of Fallout 76, which brought a lot of hate and review-bombing, this only further fueled the bad mood.
Now, nearly 7 months after the release of Fallout 76 in November 2018, there is new news.
Fans also jumped on the Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76 – it quickly sold out.
The issue with the canvas bags
Why did this upset so many people? The fact that only cheap nylon arrived instead of expensive canvas was not the only shocking aspect of this situation. Bethesda’s response afterwards and around the whole matter caused even more turmoil:
Finally, Bethesda requested more time to be able to produce the requested bags, but then kept silent for a long time.
As an original reason, Bethesda even officially stated that canvas was simply too expensive. In summary, many fans see the whole situation as very unfortunate and poorly handled.
This is Bethesda’s response: In December 2018, Bethesda announced that there would be canvas bags for buyers. Owners of the Collector’s Edition should contact support to claim their bag.
Now Bethesda has spoken out again. In a tweet, it states that the bags are finally here and will be shipped.

When will the bags arrive? There is still no specific date for the delivery. The tweet simply states that the shipping of the bags will begin “next week”, starting from June 10, 2019. Those who have submitted a ticket should receive a response once a date is set.
The fact that not everything went well with Fallout 76 is even acknowledged by the director:
Rogues have once again become the greatest threat in Hearthstone . If played correctly, they can hardly be stopped right now.
A few days ago, Blizzard released the patch “Revenge of the Mechs” in Hearthstone, which brought a total of 18 buffs to class cards. While many buffs were rather minor and had little impact, the Rogue stands out in particular. Its buff was so powerful that the “Pogo Rogue” can effortlessly dominate almost every matchup. The culprit is the Robohopser, an initially very weak minion with huge potential.
What is the Robohopser? The Robohopser is a 1/1 minion for 1 mana and is also a mech. However, it has the battle cry: It gains +2/+2 for each other Robohopser you have played in this game.
The trick is to get as many copies of the Robohopser into the deck as possible or to repeatedly return existing Robohopsers back to hand. This way, the little Robohopser can quickly become a significant threat of 13/13, 15/15, or even higher – and for only 1 mana.
YouTuber shows the potential: The well-known YouTuber Disguised Toast simply grabbed a Robohopser deck and played a few rounds to demonstrate the superiority of this deck. Although he is mercilessly behind in many matches at the beginning, he manages to make a quick comeback every time. The Robohopser becomes so strong that it can hardly be removed.

Which cards are involved? For the combo with the Robohopser to work, a few more cards are naturally needed. Helpful are, for example, the Spirit of the Shark, which doubles battle cries (thus making the strength of the Robohopsers even greater), as well as Togwaggle’s Scheme to bring the Robohopser into the deck multiple times. With the Nymph of the Witching Woods, the Robohopser can be specifically drawn from the deck, and Barista Mill can duplicate all these effects again.
How to play it yourself: If you want to try out a deck with the Robohopser yourself, just use the following deck code. Copy it and paste it into Hearthstone, and the game will automatically assemble the corresponding deck for you:
What do you think of this change to the Rogue? Has the deck gone out of control, and should Blizzard make some adjustments? Or is this all as it should be?
Before the E3 2019 there is a major leak at the publisher Bandai Namco. Among them is the game from From Software, which is being worked on by the author of “Game of Thrones,” George R.R. Martin. Elden Ring will be a fantasy action RPG heavily influenced by Dark Souls.
How was it leaked? The publisher Bandai Namco had a security flaw on their website. This allowed people to access a URL that revealed information and screenshots about games from Bandai Namco.
This led to a massive E3 leak that unveiled three new games.
This link spread across social media. The site Gematsu received this leak and processed it. Now it has blown up overnight while we in Germany peacefully slumbered towards the E3 2019.
This game has been talked about the most: The new “From Software” game is called Elden Ring. It is a fantasy action-adventure whose world was created by Hidetaka Miyazaki, who is behind the “Dark Souls” series.
He was supported by George R.R. Martin, the author of “A Song of Ice and Fire,” the novel series behind the wildly popular TV series “Game of Thrones.”
The leak emphasizes the roles of George R.R. Martin and Hidetaka Miyazaki and what an impressive work they have to show:
Martin with the 5 novels of “A Song of Ice and Fire” and some TV productions.
This is probably the logo of Eden
There is no further information about the game. It is said to be the largest game from From Software to date and that “danger” lurks around every corner of the world. There should also be a lot to explore.
There are no screenshots or in-game material yet, only the logo is known.
Elden Ring is set to be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Tales of Arise
What kind of game is this? “Tales of Arise” is the next chapter in the “Tales of” series. The series of fantasy RPGs has been running since 1995 and now has 16 parts.
Tales of Arise is said to offer “impressive graphics” and be a “dynamic action RPG” with a combat system, as Bandai Namco states.
The game will introduce new characters and is set to be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
There are some screenshots of the game in the leak. The title image is also from Tales of Arise.
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
The game “Ni no Kuni: The Curse of the White Queen” was released in 2011 in Japan and in 2013 in the USA and Europe. It was a title for the PlayStation 3.
The leak now states two things:
A version without the “Remastered” label is said to be coming for the Nintendo Switch
while a remastered version is apparently set to be released for PS4 and PC and will “offer improved graphics and performance”
Players should return to the world of Ni no Kuni and accompany Oliver on an adventure, the leak continues.
In the lead-up to E3 2019, several leaks are expected. This time, it seems one of the “highlights,” Elden Ring, got hit. It was still considered “the big unknown” until yesterday, and it was only rumored whether George R.R. Martin would actually be involved. Now we know for sure.
Just yesterday, the game “Bleeding Edge” was revealed to the public.
Today, on the night of June 8th, the Vendor Reset took place in The Division 2.These are the best deals.
This is the Vendor Reset: The reset occurs every week on the night from Friday to Saturday. During this, the offerings of the in-game vendors are randomly exchanged.
We will show you which of the new offers are the most worthwhile this week. This is only about high-end items on World Tier 5.

In a teaser video, Riot Games showcases first impressions of the new champion Qiyana. Looking at the roadmap for League of Legends, it seems likely to be a new solo AD assassin.
What does the teaser show? Surprisingly, Riot Games uploaded a teaser video on June 6 that features Qiyana. She is the “Empress of the Elements.”
In the video, we see Qiyana’s weapon, which has a round shape. Presumably, it is a type of round blade or chakram. Different elements can also be found on it.
In the dialogue, it says: “I have made jungles thrive, shaped lands, and directed rivers.” As she speaks these lines, each of the three elements is focused on her weapon. Apparently, she has control over these elements and may be able to use them to her advantage in combat.

What is known about Qiyana? The developers have not yet given players a deeper insight into the champion kit. However, a few months ago, in April, Riot Games released a roadmap discussing future champions for League of Legends. It states:
Let’s talk now about the next new champion we want to unleash. This one will join the assassins for the solo lane. It has been a while, I know. There are only a few champions of this kind in the game, and we know that many of you love playing them. The arrival of this champion will take you deep into the jungles of Runeterra, where a new faction that has been hidden from the world will emerge. The character possesses powers that allow him to cleverly and innovatively leverage his surroundings. Intruders should be wary and stay away from the walls, as deep in these jungles, danger is ever-present.
It stands to reason that Qiyana is an AD assassin who plays in the solo lane. In the English version of the roadmap, it refers to a “Solo Lane AD Assassin.” The splash art of the champion shows more about who you can expect:
Source: LoL Weibo
What do players say about it? Many are amazed that Riot is releasing a new champion so quickly. Yuumi recently appeared in patch 9.10, the rework of Mordekaiser has already been announced but is not yet in the game. And now the next champion is already in the queue.
Update 7.6. 7:20 PM: Meanwhile, the full trailer is also out, lasting over 1:25 minutes.

A new item in World of Warcraft will help those who have only experienced the night in WoW so far. Soon you will be able to determine the time of day!
World of Warcraft has had a day/night cycle for ages. This is identical to server time, which in most cases corresponds to local time. So when it’s 10 PM at our place, it’s also 10 PM in WoW and the sun has set. This creates darkness, moon and stars in the sky, and a rather gloomy atmosphere in most areas. However, not all players enjoy this.
What is the problem? Those who can only play in the evening, perhaps because they have to work during the day, experience all areas of World of Warcraft in darkness. While this might be atmospheric for some, players have been complaining for years that they would also like to experience the daytime version of Azeroth, even if they can only play in the evening or at night.
Only being able to play at night is not to everyone’s liking.
A new item provides permanent midday: With Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, there are two new items that allow you to manipulate the time of day. In the Caverns of Time, there is a new vendor (Otela) who sells two items for Time-Warped Badges:
Sun-warmed Sand (10 badges)
Jug of Sun-warmed Sand (1,000 badges)
What do the items do? Both items grant the character a buff that allows them to experience the game world as if it were midday for 2 hours. The Sun-warmed Sand is single-use (but you can buy multiple units), while the jug is a toy and can be used infinitely, though it has a cooldown of 24 hours.
Darkest night already available: In response to player criticism that the nights are not dark enough, Blizzard had already introduced another effect into the game. Characters can purchase the item “Inky Black Potion” at the Darkmoon Faire to experience a dark night for 2 hours.
Suramar in eternal night – a whole new gaming experience.
Players thus gain more freedom in how they want to experience World of Warcraft – completely independent of when they actually have time to play. And role players will definitely appreciate it.
What do you think about these new items? Exactly what’s needed for everyone who can only play at night? Or should the representation of the game world not be able to be influenced like this?
EA Sports has revealed the release date for FIFA 20. The football simulation will be released this September. This was disclosed in a new teaser video for FIFA 20 that came out before the official unveiling at EA Play 2019.
When will FIFA 20 be released? In the teaser released by EA, the end date of September 27, 2019, is mentioned as the release date.
September 27, 2019, is a Friday.

What other information is in the trailer? According to the teaser, FIFA 20 will once again run on the Frostbite Engine and will not receive a new engine, as previously speculated.
Many also see the teaser trailer in the tweet as a hint that FIFA 20 could feature a FIFA Street mode. The short football scenes around the world and the motto of the teaser (The Stadium is anywhere) suggest this.
On which consoles will FIFA 20 be released? The teaser currently only mentions that the Frostbite versions of the game will be released on the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Nothing is known yet about a version for the Nintendo Switch.
The release date for FIFA 20 is known, when will more information be available?
When can we expect more details about FIFA 20? We expect more information tomorrow, on June 8th, at 4:00 PM. The FIFA 20 reveal will take place then. Further information about FIFA 20 is also expected tomorrow evening at the E3 event during EA Play 2019.
Update June 8th: We have the first images of FIFA 20.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale has recently qualified a caught cheater. Many professionals are not pleased with this. One has, therefore, an unconventional and quite brutal idea of how to punish him again.
Who is it about? The professional gamer NICKMERCS from the notorious clan FaZe still has beef with player XXiF. He was banned in week 3 of the Fortnite World Cup qualification for cheating.
This is how the cheater should receive his just punishment
This is NICKMERCS’ suggestion: In a stream, NICKMERCS elaborated on what he considers an appropriate additional punishment for the former cheater XXiF.
According to NICKMERCS, it would be just really cool if the creature, which he considers a dragon, just appears and eats ONLY XXiF among all players. Just like that!

They should let the dragon out in the final round and it should only eat XXiF. Epic should be made to program “Dragon Attack” and write XXiF’s name in there. No matter where he goes or what he builds, just let the dragon eat XXiF. I think that’s only fair. This is my opinion and I stand by it. I personally think the dragon should appear when XXiF lands and tear him apart. And I want him to panic like that little kid at PAX who was like, “Oh shit, oh shit!”
Will Epic implement this? That the developers specifically kill a player with a giant monster is rather unlikely. But perhaps the “dragon” really will be released at the World Cup and coincidentally also eats XXiF.
On the other hand, there is currently a lot of evidence suggesting that the monster will be released during E3.
It looks like after The Division 2 vs. Anthem, the next shooter duel of 2019 is just around the corner. The release date of Destiny 2 Shadowkeep is only 4 days after the launch date of Borderlands 3. Both games aim to reach the same target audience on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia, and both are targeting almost the same launch date.
When do Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 Shadowkeep release? The dates could hardly be closer:
Destiny 2 comes from a rather quiet year 2018/2019. Although Forsaken was well-received by fans in September 2018, it couldn’t fully compensate for the damage done during the release year of Destiny 2. The subsequent DLCs in 2019 were rather mixed, although the mood has improved recently.
Borderlands 3, on the other hand, is a new entry in a beloved franchise, and so far there are only a few negative signs against the game. The anticipation is high.
Do the games compete for the same players? The target audiences will be relatively similar.
While both shooters are quite different and each game has dedicated fans – many players would likely buy both titles if they were spaced further apart, and are now facing the decision on how to react.
We can probably brace ourselves for Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 vying for our attention in the weeks and days leading up to the September date.
The Elder Scrolls
Online presents you cute subspecies of Khajiit in Elsweyr. They are now also available as pets for a lot of real money. Yet, the players love them!
Which cats are involved? Occasionally, you will encounter the Khajiit subspecies of Alfiq in the new ESO expansion Elsweyr. These are house cat-sized Khajiit that are just as intelligent as their bipedal, humanoid cousins. Moreover, they can speak and even wear clothes.
For many players – and our author Jürgen – the Alfiq are definitely the highlight of Elsweyr and sometimes rank even higher than dragons and necromancers. Therefore, many players wish for Alfiq as companion pets. After all, there are already many cats in this form, so why not Alfiq?
These cute little fellows are the highlight of Elsweyr for many!
Speaking house cats as bankers and traders for a lot of money
This is what the Alfiq pets look like: However, it seems that the developer ZeniMax did not want to simply offer another standard cat pet. Therefore, the two Alfiq companions that are now available in the shop are not simple pets that just follow you around and occasionally do cute things.
Rather, the two new Alfiq companions Ezabi and Fezez are NPC assistants, serving either as access to the bank vault (Ezabi) or as a trader (Fezez).
Fezez the trader
Ezabi, the banker
They not only follow you around, but also allow you to sell and store items without having to cumbersome return to the next city.
How much do the Khajiit pets cost? Since the two Alfiq are so useful, they unfortunately cost significantly more than a normal pet.
You need a proud 5,000 crowns for that. This is over 31 Euros in conversion. In the game, you cannot earn the cats.
Players love the pets
How do you get the Alfiq companions? Despite the high price, players on Reddit are enthusiastic about Ezabi and Fezez. A player named Siluen has already created a Photoshop image in which his Dark Elf carries Ezabi in his arms and says, “I have only had Ezabi for half an hour, but if anything should happen to her, I will slaughter this entire island and then kill myself!”
This player immediately created a montage showing him with his new companion.
Now some players wish there was such a lift animation in reality. One user says, “I didn’t plan on buying them, but if you can really lift them, then ZeniMax can have all my money!”
But other players also express their joy and eagerly throw money at the new cat pets:
“I have saved a ton of crowns from ESO Plus and was actually always skeptical about assistant pets. But these little stinkers have convinced me!”
“So cute and fluffy!”
“I will pet them and feed them, and woe to anyone who does them harm, they will die a thousand deaths!”
“ARE THERE CAT BANKERS???? How much do they cost, I need them immediately!”
“Luckily, I didn’t buy the previous assistants, cat assistants, here I come!”
“I think this will be the first time I spend real money in an online game…”
The new companions can even talk and offer useful services.
Does everyone love the cats? Rarely do you hear from players shaking their heads at the steep prices and completely rejecting spending so much money on a virtual cat:
“Is there a cat assistant? I need him! How much does he cost? Oh, okay, no thanks!”
“Everything in the shop is so overpriced, the prices are just absurd!”
What if you already have assistants? Unfortunately, there have already been such assistant companions in the game, including a Khajiit smuggler and a boring, stiff Dark Elf banker. If you already have these NPCs, you will unfortunately not receive a discount if you buy an Alfiq, who does exactly the same thing.
What do you think? Are cute, talking cat pets that sell you stuff and expand your inventory worth 31 euros?
This annoys some players who already bought the old NPC assistants and would much rather have had the cats, but did not know that the cats would soon be available:
“Damn, I just bought the old Dark Elf banker assistant. Did not know that the Alfiq exist. But whatever…”
Even I, Jürgen, regret having bought the stupid Dark Elf for a bunch of coins back then. But well, at least I have two bankers now.
What do you think? Are cute, talking cat pets that sell you stuff and expand your inventory worth 31 euros?
The TOTS event in FIFA 19 is progressing and next brings the Serie A Team of the Season. You’ll find out which players are included here.
The Serie A TOTS: As with the TOTS for La Liga and the Premier League, EA has also determined which players will receive a TOTS card for the Serie A Team of the Season.
There were 20 spots to fill and this is the result:
The Serie A Team of the Season
The strongest cards in the Serie A TOTS: Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest overall rating of 99 in the Serie A TOTS. However, Koulibaly (96), Quagliarella (96), Chiellini (95), Gomez (95), and Donnaruma (95) also received extremely strong TOTS cards.
Starting eleven:
GK: Sirigu (93)
CB: Koulibaly (96)
CB: Chiellini (95)
RB: Joao Cancelo (94)
CB: Izzo (93)
CAM: Gomez (95)
CAM: Nainggolan (93)
CM: De Paul (92)
ST: Cristiano Ronaldo (99)
ST: Quagliarella (96)
ST: Ilicic (94)
Substitutes:
GK: Donnaruma (95)
CB: Mancini (87)
CM: Fabian (92)
LM: El Shaarawy (92)
RM: Lazzari (87)
ST: Zapata (94)
ST: Piatek (91)
RF: Chiesa (91)
SS: Correa (91)
This is Ronaldo’s TOTS card: Cristiano Ronaldo receives his second 99-rated card in FIFA 19 as part of the TOTS event. His first card with a 99 overall rating comes from the TOTY event (Team of the Year).
Ronaldo-TOTS (99)
Overall, Ronaldo’s TOTS card is already the seventh special card for Ronaldo in FUT 19. It is likely to become his most expensive one.
Ronaldo-TOTY VS Ronaldo-TOTS
When comparing the two cards, it quickly becomes clear that they are both absolute endgame cards, with only minimal differences. The TOTS Ronaldo is a bit faster and has better dribbling. Physically, he is slightly weaker than the TOTY version.
Eredivisie
Another league: As in previous weeks, EA is also releasing another league this time. This week it is the 1st Dutch league. This includes real stars like: Ziyech (96), De Ligt (95), De Jong (95), and Tadic (95)
How to get new TOTS cards
From packs: As usual, TOTS cards can be in these packs:
However, you need a lot of luck to actually pull a TOTS card. Therefore, we recommend using the transfer market to acquire TOTS players.
What you need to consider in the transfer market: While you can search specifically for TOTS players, you should always keep an eye on the prices. These are particularly high in the first few days of a new TOTS.
Therefore, it might be worth waiting a bit before buying TOTS players. Prices tend to drop fairly quickly.
What is the Team of the Season exactly?
This is how the event works: With the Team of the Season (TOTS), EA usually ends the FUT season and releases numerous extremely strong endgame cards. Each week, at least one new Team of the Season with new blue TOTS cards appears.
The TOTS cards are that strong: The TOTS cards are particularly strong and can only be compared to the cards of the Team of the Year. These are true endgame cards, with values that can exceed 90.
Among the top stars of the big leagues, upgrades of 6 to 10 points in total rating are not uncommon.
Comparison of Gold Card with TOTS Card
Otherwise, the TOTS cards behave like Inform cards. While a TOTS team is active, the TOTS versions replace the regular Gold cards.
Astellia is approaching its first closed beta in the West and is releasing more and more information about it. This time the focus is on the differences between the Asian and our game version.
In a new article, the developers also address what changes in gameplay and the combat system. The Asia MMORPG also wants to adapt to the West in this regard.
More dynamic combat system, fairer quests
What changes in the combat system? According to the developers, the combat system is to become more dynamic. Some rigid animations have been revised and classes adjusted.
Furthermore, the dodging maneuvers have been improved, which we compared with Guild Wars 2. You can now interrupt any actions of the character to dodge.
There will also be adjustments regarding the recovery of health and mana points. Here, however, the developers want to wait for player feedback.
What changes in the quests? In the current version of Astellia, monsters killed together are not counted for each member of a group. This is expected to change in the western version.
Also, the distribution of rewards will be adjusted for special enemies with their own names. Even if many players brought down such an enemy together, only one received the loot. A system that would meet with rejection in the West.
Localization in writing and sound
In which languages will Astellia be released? Astellia will be available in English, German, and French at launch. This is not only to apply to the written part.
The voice-over that accompanies the development and story of the characters should also be localized.
Information about Astellia: In Asia, there is a large in-game database with information that answers the most important questions about Astellia.
This database could not be transferred to the West. Instead, wikis are planned here, which players can also participate in.
Astellia will not have it easy in the West
How do Asia MMORPGs fare in the West? Asia MMORPGs usually generate a lot of anticipation among players. Some games can meet expectations, like Black Desert, while others quickly disappear.
Recently, the game Bless Online, released in 2018, has not been doing well.
How good are the chances for Astellia? The developers of Astellia are planning many adjustments for us, forgoing strong interventions from the shop, and even adapting individual mechanics.
The hope for success for Astellia is there. What is impressive is how already the feedback from the western community is being addressed. A point where Bless Online particularly struggled.
Do you have any further questions about the adjustments in the West? We are happy to ask them to the developers!
